Sheikh Muszaphar & Other Crew Members Entered The Orbit

Congratulations to the crew for successfully entering the orbit! It’s so excited to see the live transmission, the blast of the rocket is so powerful. Now, they will stay in the orbit for 2 days until they dock with the ISS. From the live transmission, I saw that the driving capsule is really small. I would be very uncomfortable if I were them but no choice, we have to adapt.

Yes, adapt is one of the key to choose an astronaut because you have to withstand the recoil force of the rocket when it’s accelerating and able to work under microgravity environment. If you fail this, sorry, you are limited to the ground.

I will update with you what will they do in the lounge. I can’t wait to see Sheikh eating the Malaysian’s food. :)

  • Yeah, I watch the live transmission too, launched at 9.22pm of 10/10/07. I was so excited to the transmission. I get to know that before the Soyuz TMA-11 was launched, the electric current, telephone line, and everything near the launch pad has been cut off, in order not to disrupt the wave which is so important to keep the communication on-call with the cosmonauts in the craft.
